Someone Else

What if these hands I have aren't mineThese lips, these eyes, my arrival to life If I didn't write with my right but instead with my leftIf the secrets I hold aren't mines to be keptWhat if my life belongs to someone else

If the loneliness I feel isn't mine to bareIf those I love are someone else for to careIf the tears that I cry in solitude each nightAnd the ones inside belong to someone else's plight

Am I wrong to believe that this being isn't meWhat if my life belongs to someone else

If someone else got my height, my goals and loveThey hold my success, my money, my trustThe unbroken solidity of a family homeThe joy, contentment and lack of feeling aloneIf all the goodness and greatness I should have hadWas given to them, a mistake at God's handThey should be me, and I should be themWhat if my life belongs to someone else

How could this have happened, why can’t it be fixedHow could the creator make such a mistake as thisMy house, my wife, my familly, my kidsMy laughter, my joy, my hopes, my dreamsMy skin-tone, my friends, my unbroken family,My body, my contentment, the gift of sanityMy place in life was given to anotherMy heart, my soul and even my loverThe career and success that is rightfully mineIs held in the hands of another man, another's lifeStill it isn't their faultSomeone else is to blameIn the heavens aboveWe all know his nameHe fucked with my lifeGave me misery and strifeKnowing all alongThat what he did was wrongBut the all mighty is always rightSo I can’t blame him for his own blightBut I know it's his faultAnd I demand justiceHe's shit on the wrong manAnd he had better remedy thisI don't care if you are the almighty and divineGive me the life that you know is rightfully mine

But my pleads are futileI'm swimming in denialGod will never answer though he knows he's wrongAnd somehow I think I’ve known this all alongThat my shitty existence was intentional fuckeryAnd God is up there having a blast just laughing at meBut I know I’m right as sure as sure can beMy life's fucked cause God gave it to someone else but me
